A Beautiful Young Lady, Handsome

A Beautiful Young Lady, a Handsome
Lover and Wrathful Pursuer.
From the Jacksonville (Fln) Times Union.
Last Tuesday night about 10 o'clock a
Times Union man was vending his way
down Bay street, when the suppressed sobs
OF a woman caught his sympathetic ear. A
handsome young lady was seen to dry her
tears behind cambria handkerchief, and
to 90 into the post office building. A few
moments later she was seen to emerge from
the office with a bunch of keys III one hand
and a letter enclosed in square
envelope in the other The tears
were again flowing unrestrained, when
the young lady sought the light OF a
gas jet and hastily tearing off the
covering read the mssve with great avidity.
While she was reading the letter the re-
porter was enabled to get better look at
her than he had before. Tall, graceful and
willowy, she had figure that would have
done honor to Venus, her forehead was high
and sllrmomted with beautiful black or
dark brown hair that seemed to cling to
brow of alabaster wilderness. Her garments
were of the most expensive material, and
aTtiStically and fashiOnaby made, yet not
gaudy From the index finger of her left
hand shone a solitaire, such as are seldom
seen. A glimpse of the boots underneath
her skirts revealed a foot that could have
easily worn the glass slipper with neither
pairing at the heels or toes.
As She read the note smile slowly re-
placed the forlorn look which had con
cealed her face. She smiled almost audlbly
and, striking one pretty foot with It's coun-
terpart, she muttered something under
meath her breath that, to the reporters ears,
shaped themselves very nearly into Bless
his dear old heart! | knew he would lie
true to his word. " Hastily glancing around,
she put the letter into her rcticule, and
started up Market street. Something
white on the sidewalk caught the
eye of the T-U. man, and, stoop-
ing, he picked up nothing less
than the envelope which surrounded
the supposed-to-be tender missive, and
with the address of a young lady, care box
-, city. He put this in his inside pocket,
and followed the fair one at a respectable
distance to the corner of Adams and Mar
ket streets. Here size stopped moment,
and glanced anxiously down the street in
each direction. She then went down
Adams on the north side until she came to
Ocean, then north again on that until she
was perhaps half way of the block when a
handsome young man was seen at the other
corner.
The young lady saw his form in the dis
lance at about the same time that the re-
porter UCSCfleu MIN. Eollc gave IilIlC
cry and hurried forward TO meet him on
halfway ground. Their meeting should
have been seen to be appreciated. Suffice
it to say that the reporter would have gladly
given a couple of million or half his fortune
to have been i'll that young mans place dnr-
ing their first greeting The young man,
who was about feet in height, was becom-
ingly dressed III a black Prince Albert and
wore a black silk hat He had perfect
| love of q moustache, and had a match to
| the young lady's solitaire sparkling In his
| expanse of immaculate shirt bosom. After
| conversing moment they started down
| Adams street and were soon lost to sight i'll
| the darkness
The reporter was then starting back to
| the business streets, when he saw a fierce
looking man coming down the street at a
swinging pace His eyes shone like those OF
a wild beast, and in his hand he carried a
| whip, the handle of which ne grasped with
the greatest tenacity. He glanced up and
down Ocean street and then he also started
down Adams III the direction taken
by the young couple. At the inter
section of every street he would stop and
| glance anxiously each way and then
continue down the street He went down
| as far as Julia, then he turned down toward
| Bay He stopped for several minutes on
| the Everett House corner, as if debating
whether to continue the search. He evil
| IDENTIFY concluded that further search was
vain, and coming down to Bay, jumped
| into a passing carriage and was driven
swiftly up Bay street
Perhaps a runaway marriage will be
| heard OF this morning.
